Description

The warped remains of the once great Celestial Capital of the Zilart, Al'Taieu is secluded to all but the most skilled of adventurers seeking fame, fortune, and challenge. Even to this day, after 10,000 years since it became isolated from the rest of Vana'diel, bizarre creatures, such as the sky-borne Yovra and marine Phuabo, still dwell in this surreal area and serve as guardians to the Grand Palace.

This area is said to yield some of the most powerful of monsters, even the mighty Aern, Absolute Virtue.

Anyone have any news or rumors of accessing fights with "Sea" Gods similar to that of Kirin and his underlings? I am under the impression that this would be the case. As of now, unfortunately, there is no evidence to back this assumption.

u know what i think is that its really stuped to be crying about an hnm that was stolen who cares. i mean come on they pop evry hour or less maby more i just started to play this game and ppl ***** about stuped sh*t. wtf

It will be interesting as to where they will put these new HNM's. There really isn't much space in either of the exiting maps now (Grand Palace of Hu'xzoi and Garden of Ru'hmet). I'm getting it's the lower floor of The Garden of Ru'hmet.. since the elevator gives you the option of doing down, but doesn't actually work.

I hope that make it so that you can go down withoug having to "run the gauntlet" of the 4 Zdei's.

I appears that someone has hacked their way into the northern area on this map. It seems that the northern area hasn't really been enabled. i.e. there are no mobs there. But they did find a bunch of things there.

Ok, the expansion is called CHAINS of Promathia, which i think refers to the actual god, and the gates to paradice, so that gets me wondering if "we" have to fight promathius (srry if mis-spelled) for some reason, like, the gates are opened, and the apacolypse starts or vice versa the apacolypse starts and we have to defeat promathius to get in to paradice or to stop the destruction of Vana'diel

Al'taeiu is the place where the Zilartian King resides in the Grand Palace of Hux'Zoi. In the storyline this also where the keeper of the apocalypse is currently residing. Only thing is whether or not it is the realm of the celestial gods is up for debate. When you get there Nag'lomada exclaims that this is the area pass the gate of gods, but Ulmia and other NPCs will reveal that it may not be but the precurser to the relam of Gods.

When you enter Grand Palace Hux'Zoi you find a door called the Gate of the Gods. That is as far as anyone in the game can progress until the end of april.

The storyline is filled with a lot of plot twists after Sacraium and more importantly Promyvion-Vhazl. Allies become enemies and Enemies become Allies and etc. thats about as much as i want to spoil.

Got access last night. Good Music. Interesting mob agro. I can't remember names since they have really odd names. One mob would agro, come to you, look at you and changes their pose and then swims away lol.

It's a sea alright. Your basically walking on the water. Occasionally there are mobs that swim in the water, most are above the water it seems. To a lvl75, mobs were Easy Prey to Tough from what I saw. I will be going back tonight to try to get a map, gain access to more areas thus progressing in PM's.

Square-enix recently revealed this area at an Intel presentation of their new Centrino chip. It was a demo of sorts to show off the Centrino. The only information from SEI is that the area will be rolled out soon and represents the climax of the Promathia missions.

Truthfully I feel you have to finish the chapters they give in ďchains of promathiaĒ. I think this is the only true way to gain access to ďAl'TaieuĒ. after Februarys update of course, when they add new chapters I strongly feel this is going to be one of the new areas one can access to do the new chapters.

Personally after seeing the cutscene in the infirmary, this doesnt appear to be underwater. I think the names sea and sky are rather silly tho. I believe the key to get to Tu'Lia is called Moonpass not skypass... -.-

As you wish For kingdom come The one to know all the answers You think you dwell in wisdoms sea Still sweet ignorance is the key To a poet's paradise Challenge the Riddler and you will see... ~Nightwish

No, the item to gain access to sky is called the 'Cerulean Crystal' moon pass is what lets you get pass the moongates in Ro'Maeve for the 70+ leveling area. Calling it sky makes perfect sense, its in the sky, there we go?

It makes sense, I've just always thought it sounded pretty dumb hearing things like "He's in sky right now." Usually in English you hear about "the sky" and things are "in the sky" rather than "at sky" etc. But the grammar hangups aren't my real point. Tu'Lia is in the sky. Al'Taieu probably isn't. Calling it Sky 2 just seems really dumb to me. Ah well :/

Mark my words, the very moment I'm doing a Promathia mission and some jerk in my party says "I just want my sky 2 pass," I do /shutdown and never play the game again. I've always thought calling Tu'Lia "sky" sounded dumb, but "sky 2?" Isn't this place underwater? Could we possibly call it "sea" or something? It's gonna be so sad once people are only doing these missions for material rewards and such.

Well the entire region floats about the clouds, so calling it "sky" does make sense, which is why the Japanese refer to it as "sora." But I see your point, just too bad autotranslating <Ru'Aun Gardens> <Area> is so cumbersom.

alteiuh is the celestial capital where by the kuluu and zilart(ancient ppl) once resided in. and yes it is the place where by u get all these short scenes of it with the enigmatic youth. it is not known where to be accessed as it is unreleased so far but according to the story its under the shumeyo sea.

Well just something I want to add is during a cut scene with Prishe(a bit after killing the minotaur and a smidge before Riverne Site #Acan't remember rest of the name) they talk about a painting and then show it and you can see Bahamut flying above Al'taieu. So it must have something to do with the Ku'luh or what not and maybe a Bahamut/Phoenix battle is in store?

My team on the phoenix server is 1 BC away from finishing all the CoP missions up through today's update - with the update new missions are supposed to be added as well as the new areas.

There was a great terrestial avatar war that sent the celestial captial under the Shumeyo Sea. According to the storyline there is a way they have found that leads to this area - through the lifeforce of the fifth mothercrystal. If that is true, then this would be an underwater area. The storyline so far has CONFIRMED that this city not only exists, but some of the ku'hlu actually survived and this city lives on - however, according to the priest lady (the immortal one) it is no longer the place it used to be - it is a dark tainted place now (not like emptiness or dynamis but I am assuming like Sky with enemies, etc.) - After the next BC we will be on chapter six - I believe according to what I've read on various japanese websites, this area opens up upon completion of Chapter 7 - the update today is supposed to open up all new area so let's hope that this is one of them :)

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

hmmmmm.....it didn't lock up my PS2 at all. Even tho for some reason my PS2 locked up while fighting the NM for my AF2 and it did it again just recently (I think it's time to have it serviced had it for a year)
